Anonymous asked:

Is it ageist to have a yoga class labeled "Yoga for Healthy Aging" or "Yoga for over 50"?

yoisthisageist answered:

“Yoga for Health” would be a better choice. Everyone is aging.

As for “Yoga for Over 50,” it’s ageist for the same reason that it would be racist to separate students by race. Many older people have beautiful yoga practices because they’ve been doing it for so long. It would be more sensible, and more inclusive, for the studio to organize classes according to skill level instead. Age-integrated classes also help dismantle ageism and ableism, because they debunk stereotypes about older people’s physical capacities.

Knitting finally clicked! As they say, third time’s a charm. Several things made a difference this time. Larger, non-slippery (bamboo) needles and thicker yarn. Deciding to relax and have fun with it. (Vs my previous grim determination that literally strained my neck and shoulder muscles. 😐) Patiently watching a multitude of knitting videos, trying various ways to hold and tension the yarn and form the stitches. The most helpful advice took a “knitting for crocheters” approach. After a lot of experimentation, I’ve found it’s best for me to hold the yarn exactly as for crochet, and not to bob my index finger up and down for the purl stitch. Instead I can rock my hands back and forth for yarn overs and pull throughs, just like you do when crocheting. Feels much more natural and relaxed. Super happy with this red, seed stitch swatch. In a few more rows it’ll be a finished block for the Warm Up America project.

People of color who have abortions deserve to be in every single space where decisions are being made. This is what’s possible when we testify. It all begins with our stories.
